About the France: Epitech Summer Computer Science Program
Epitech was founded in 1999 and has gone on to become the largest IT school in France. Epitech includes 12 campuses and 12 Innovation Hubs, located all over France, with a student population of 5400. The school also has 3000 corporate partners dedicated to helping with student success. The school is focused on project-based learning. Students at Epitech do 50-70 projects a year, which help with interactive and inductive learning, and teamwork skills.
This bootstrap summer program takes place at Epitech's Paris campus. Students can choose one of two tracks: Internet of Things or Game Development. Students in Internet of Things will learn how to make a connected device using Arduino. Students in Game Development will learn how to make their own video game.
